MUTTS is a hero for animal advocacy #MUTTS

You're never too old for comics!
Have you checked out MUTTS yet?
The comic strip MUTTS appears in more than 700 newspapers in 20 countries.  I love the Mutts Comics because of the way creator Patrick McDonnell champions animal and rescue causes. Some of my favorite comics are those that make a statement about animal treatment. Here is a sample from the new book, The MUTTS Winter Diaries, making a subtle statement about the plight of chained dogs.


















 Awww sweet Earl was concerned about the poor chained dog who was left outside in the cold.

MUTTS even won awards for its environmental and animal advocacy: two Genesis Awards from The Ark Trust, The HSUS Hollywood Genesis Award for Ongoing Commitment, the PETA Humanitarian Award, and a Sierra Club award. McDonnell’s website promotes his animal-and earth-friendly philosophy.

I was excited to receive a copy of the new book, The MUTTS Winter Diaries, and an adorable pink MUTTS sleep shirt. Aren't they cute?































McDonnell and his wife reside with Amelie, their rescue Jack Russell terrier, and Not Ootie, their formerly feral cat.

FULL DISCLOSURE: I received a free copy of The Mutts Winter Diaries, and a MUTTS sleep shirt. I had no obligation to blog about this, but chose to because I am already a fan of MUTTS. I only share products I think my readers would find interesting.

However, if you have a few real pumpkins and want to give them to your dogs, here are some cooking and preparation suggestions: 1. Raw pumpkin is okay, as long as it is fresh. Don't use your Halloween pumpkin that's been sitting out on your porch steps for weeks. Yuck! Just peel the pumpkin and cut the flesh into small cubes. You can then top your dog's food with some of the pumpkin cubes. 2. Pumpkin puree Boil peeled, cubed pumpkin until tender. or cut pumpkins in half and scoop out the seeds. Place on cookie sheet and roast for 30 minutes or so, until golden brown on edges. Scoop out the flesh and discard the skin. Place in food processor and add a little water and puree. I p
